Berkeley Rep to do “One Man, Two Guvnors”

Berkeley Repertory Theatre has filled out its 2014-15 season with one more show, and it’s already an eagerly anticipated one. Richard Bean‘s London and New York smash hit “One Man, Two Guvnors” — a madcap modern adaptation of Carlo Goldoni‘s classic “A Servant of Two Masters,” set in 1960s Brighton with an onstage band — will open at the Rep in May2015.

No word yet on who will play the lead role of the servant caught between the comically conflicting demands of his two bosses, for which West End-Broadway star James Corden nabbed a Tony. But if the Rep decides to cast locally, the Bay Area acting pool has no shortage of likely candidates.
